Increased Incidence of Rhino-Orbital-Cerebral Mucormycosis After Colorado Flooding
Abstract
In September 2013, central Colorado experienced a record amount of rainfall resulting in widespread flooding. Within 1 month of the flooding, 4 patients presented to the authors’ institution with rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis. This represents the largest number of cases ever recorded over a 1-month period. The authors hypothesize that the combination of immunocompromised status and environmental exposure resulted in the increased incidence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
